I always seem to start watching new sitcoms only when they’re in syndication after several years. The same thing happened to me with Scrubs which I would catch late nights before going to bed. Now “How I Met Your Mother” is something I almost never miss. I think it’s a combination of liking a lot of the actors and also the characters being roughly the same age as me. Add in some nerdy references and some really absurd and silly humor and I’m totally sold.
But no, yesterday there was a baseball game going on. I’m not sure which is a more disappointing thing to see taking up time on TV, baseball or NASCAR? I guess NASCAR since it doesn’t hold any suspense for me and I know nothing about cars. What I want to know is how different are the individual cars’ engines? Surely there aren’t many top of the line components and everyone would want to have the best gear, right?
Being I am a relatively recent NASCAR nerd, and a St. Louis Cardinals baseball fan, I cannot relate to you missing your sitcom in disappointment, especially in the day and age of Hulu and Netflix. A note on the NASCAR, though, is that it’s not so much knowing about cars that makes it interesting, but knowing about driving. Endurance, strategy, being able to navigate at 200 mph, and some people on the track are just plain jerks…driving makes NASCAR fun, not the cars. Also, the commercials during NASCAR really really suck.
